Camp Winnarainbow

Camp Winnarainbow

Camp Winnarainbow is a circus and performing arts camp for children founded and run by Wavy Gravy. [ [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2006/05/20/BAG8KIUVOF15.DTL Compassion comes easy to this clown] ] The camp adjoins the Hog Farm commune near Laytonville, California.

Activities

Classes that campers can attend include trapeze, juggling, improvisation, tightrope, gymnastics, acting, unicycle, stilt walking, (in some sessions) clown philosophy, art, and magic. Campers are given some freedom as to which classes they want to attend on a daily basis.

The camp has ties to individuals and organizations from the founder's counter-culture background. Danny Rifkin, a former co-manager of the Greatful Dead, has served on the camp's board [ [http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/08/23/BAGDKEBPA51.DTL Mendocino County] ] and the camp has received funding from The Bill Graham Foundation [ [http://www.billgrahamfoundation.org/recipients.html Bill Graham Foundation recipients] ] .

Camp Winnarainbow also runs a program for adults [ [http://www.entrepreneur.com/magazine/entrepreneur/2000/january/18780.html Camp Grown-Up] ] who have "forgotten how to lighten up and let loose."
